Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Jackson MS
122 PM CST Tue Nov 29 2022

...New MESOSCALE UPDATE...

.MESOSCALE UPDATE...
Issued at 121 PM CST Tue Nov 29 2022

Rest of today-tonight: This morning the potential for significant
severe weather event remains across the region. Morning sfc
analysis indicates strong WAA & moisture return have quickly
recovered with temperatures in the low 70s N to mid-upper 70s S
with dewpoints in the upper 60s-low 70s, especially in S MS. This
has led to strong WAA with intense LLJ around 40-45kts at 850mb.
Combined with anomalous warmth & destabilization around 1000-1500
MLCAPE, per SHV & JAN 18Z soundings, will continue to favor
significant severe weather event. Some thermo values haven't been
seen per SPC sounding climatology & SPC mesoanalysis indicates
long clockwise curved hodographs with +300-400 m2/s2 effective SRH
& mean layer bulk shear around 30-45kts in the 0-1km/0-3km &
50-60kts in the 0-6km layer. In addition, very steep lapse rates
approaching 7.0 C/km in the 700-500mb layer will support more
intense hail. This will continue to support all modes of
significant severe weather, including tornadoes, some strong &
long track, damaging winds up to 80mph & large hail of tennis ball
size. Highest threat looks to be along & NW of the Natchez Trace
corridor into Hwy 45 corridor. Some storms have developed earlier
in S LA & are progged to continue to the NE. In SE MS could have
better mid-level capping & 700mb heights around which could
suppress some convection into the Pine Belt. After collaboration
with SPC, the "Moderate" & "Enhanced" risk areas remain mostly the
same, but were slightly expanded to the E to the MS/AL state
line. In addition, a tornado watch has been issued for a large
portion along & NW of the Natchez Trace corridor through 7PM.
Timing for the most significant severe weather looks to be in the
4PM to midnight timeframe, with some lingering after midnight
through 4A. Increased confidence remains of around 9PM- midnight
in the NW Delta, the I-55 corridor around 1AM-3AM & most potential
moved out by 4AM-6AM into E-SE MS, especially the I-59 corridor.

In addition to this, a "Flash Flood Watch" has been hoisted for a
portion of Southeast Mississippi from 15Z today through 12Z
Wednesday.  Here, 2-3 inches of rain, with locally higher amounts,
are possible.  A good portion of this area has already observed 3-5
inches of rain over the past week.  With these forecasted rainfall
totals through early Wednesday morning, it could easily result in
some flash flooding across the area, especially is multiple storms
move across the same areas.

Some localized flash flooding potential remains today. Kept the
graphic as is, but confidence has increased some areas along & NW
of the Natchez Trace, especially N of the I-20 corridor could see
some additional training of supercells & more vigorous convection.
For now, kept the ongoing Flash Flood Watch in SE MS & no changes
to the HWO, but definitely can't rule out a quick +3 inches for
areas along & N of the I-20 corridor where more intense
storms/multiple rounds occurs.

Strong WAA will help highs warm near-above normal into low-mid
70s today, while above normal into low to low 40s in the Delta to
low-mid 60s in SE MS for the frontal passage tonight. /DC/

.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 324 AM CST Tue Nov 29 2022

Today and Tonight...The potential for a significant severe weather
event has further expanded across the forecast area this morning.
Conditions across the region will quickly moderate up under strong
southerly flow at the surface and even stronger southwest flow aloft
today. This will result in deep moisture surging northward into the
region.  Warm advection shower activity is likely to get an early
start, along with some isolated thunderstorms over the area by late
morning as a frontal boundary lifts north from the coast. All of
this is in response to a strong mid/upper level jet moving into the
region, along with an increasing low level jet, ahead of a strong
mid/upper level trough that'll swing east across and out of the
central and southern plains states through the day. This trough will
then eject northeast across the Mid-Mississippi River Valley and Mid-
South region towards the Great Lakes region through Wednesday
morning.  This will result in a deepening surface low that'll
quickly lift northeast from the central plains into the Great Lakes
region this afternoon into tonight.  As it does so, it'll drag a
cold front into and through the CWA late tonight into Wednesday
morning.

Ahead of the front, very sufficient shallow (30-40 kts, 0-1 km & 40-
50 kts 0-3 km) and deep-layer (50-65 kts, 0-6 km) wind shear will
exist, resulting in long looping Hodographs with storm-relative
helicity values between 300-400 m^2 s^2, along with more than
adequate for this time of year (1000-1700 J/kg MLCAPE), and steep
mid-level lapse rates (6.5-7.0 C/km, 700-500 MB).  All of the above
will set the stage for a long duration severe weather event, where
significant severe weather will be possible across a large portion
of the forecast area from early this afternoon through early
Wednesday morning.

A "Moderate Risk" for severe storms has been expanded to include the
majority of our forecast area.  Severe weather is expected, with
significant severe weather consisting of tornadic supercells
producing strong tornadoes...some possibly significant and long-
tracked, damaging wind gusts to 80 mph, and golf ball to tennis ball
size hail all possible. Surrounding this "Moderate" and covering
much of the remainder of the CWA, is an "Enhanced Risk" for severe
storms. Here, damaging winds to 70 mph, tornadoes...some possibly
strong, and quarter to golf ball size hail will all be possible.

In addition to this, a "Flash Flood Watch" has been hoisted for a
portion of Southeast Mississippi from 15Z today through 12Z
Wednesday.  Here, 2-3 inches of rain, with locally higher amounts,
are possible.  A good portion of this area has already observed 3-5
inches of rain over the past week.  With these forecasted rainfall
totals through early Wednesday morning, it could easily result in
some flash flooding across the area, especially is multiple storms
move across the same areas.

The cold front will finally push through the forecast area through
the course of Wednesday morning. Cooler, drier, and quiet conditions
will gradually fill into the CWA in the wake of the front as high
pressure at the surface will quickly build into area.  With rain in
the process of exiting Southeast Mississippi by sunrise, lows will
range from the lower 40s across the Delta to the lower 60s across
Southeast Mississippi Wednesday morning. /19/

Wednesday through Monday...a dry continental polar airmass will
bring seasonably cool temperatures to the forecast area with
readings expected to be several degrees below climate normals.
Thereafter, expect the airmass to quickly modify as an anomalous
subtropical ridge builds over the Gulf of Mexico and adjacent
coastal region. Another polar cold front should approach from the
north and infringe on the ridge as we go through the weekend and
into early next week. This should result in shower chances across
northern portions of the area, and with the surface front likely
hanging up just to our north, we can expect very mild daytime
highs continuing into early next week. /EC/

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1130 AM CST Tue Nov 29 2022

Mostly MVFR/IFR conditions prevail across the area and expect
these conditions to continue through the period. A strong storm
system will move across the area this afternoon into tonight
with widespread showers/thunderstorms, some of these storms will
be severe. The winds will be gusty out of the south today becoming
westerly than Northwesterly overnight behind the front./15/
